Location is Obsolete

By Ash K. Gray

By the Pyramids

Is where I lived

The air was thick

And the walls were chipped

The sky was blue

But grey in hue

And we hadn’t a clue

What to do

By the Pyramids

Is where I used to be

People mocked and smacked

And crashed my glee.

Why not them

Why always me?

Veiled beneath

the shadow of a tree

By the Pyramids

Is where I’m not

Now in another place

Still left to rot.

By, away, near or far

It seems so cruel.

It’s filled with gnarl.

I was by the Pyramids,

People always recognize.

And away from the Pyramids

It seems I still agonize.
